Recommendation

In this Find Your Dream Job podcast, host Mac Prichard interviews former corporate recruiter and current job coach Ashley Watkins, who explains why so many people experience depression while they’re hunting for a job. She provides many specific and actionable recommendations for successful job search that can help you avoid falling into a depression in the first place. Her guidance on what to do if you’re already experiencing depression is a little less clear and not particularly groundbreaking – but still worthwhile. Although Watkins at times veers into self-promotion by discussing her current practice, she is more often empathetic, encouraging and helpful. 

Take-Aways

  • Job searches can be emotionally draining.
  • Job searches carry a stigma that makes discussing them challenging.
  • The first step of handling depression is identifying the problem.
